A top Republican on the House Education and Workforce Committee told Labor Secretary Martin Walsh—who is set to step down in mid-March—to retain government records relevant to congressional oversight.

On Feb. 23, Rep. Virginia Foxx (R-N.C.) resent a letter to Walsh requesting the Department of Labour (DOL) keep materials that may contain information relevant to the House committee’s oversight inquiries.
